Welcome to Gaia! ::

So I know of two different origins stories for the transformers race.
Theres the Quintessons creation and the Primus creation.

With the Quintessons they built Cybertron and the transformers and the two factions before they had names the old autobots were the scientist and workers, the decepticons the soldiers and gladiators.
When the Quintessons left Cybertron for some reason the transformers grow on there own.

And in the Primus story he made the transformers and that was that.

Ive read some were (sorry I cant remember were) that the Quintessons found cybertron and enslaved the young race of transformers, and again left for some reason.

So I ask you with origin do you favor.

I prefer the Primus creation story for the fact that transformers have a strong religious overtone.

Side note the bay movie origins also fallows that the autobots were scientist, the decepticons were soldiers, before the great war.

I think they explianed the female Transformers pretty well in IDW. A mad scienctist saw that other races had multuiple genders and decided to mess with some of their 'males' and make em 'females'

I side with the Quintesson and their work. I'm sure Primus had a hand in the play considering he's suppose to be the planet they are on and that's probably the initial beginnings of life. That being said I feel that Primus was dormant when the Qintessons arrived and thus as they were creating this species while Primus was slowly evolving. Plus this would line up similar to the Beast Wars series with the Vok mrgreen

Could be the often-overlooked Third Origin. Transformers evolved from naturally occurring gears and pulleys. (I wish I were making this up. xd )



See, that's the beauty of the Multiversal Singularity. Primus is in all universes, and is the same entity in all of them. And so is Unicron. Even in continuities that never mention them. So in the Movie-verse, Primus must be sleeping at Cybertron's core even if they never mention him, and Planet Unicron is floating out there somewhere even if he's somehow dormant.

Ok so I reread the movies origin comic, first the allspark made a race few in number unnamed but im thinking it’s the original 13, later the allspark made the transformers and the 1st race used them as workers.

One of the first race didn’t want to shear the power of the allspark again im guessing The Fallon, betrayed the other and the transformers sealed him away.

Now im going to get a little sidetrack

the allspark is not unlimited in power it needs to be recharged by killing a sun, the first race used a machine to do this.

This machine is on earth and thats way the allspark and so many more transformers are coming to earth.

I remember that one.



Except Furman has gone on record IIRC of saying that Primus won't be showing up in IDW as the Transformers god this time around..

Frankly the simple fact is Transformers continuity is fluid and changes constantly with each new version of canon.

Just because he won't be "showing up" it doesn't counter the retcon. all that means is that the IDW-verse Cybertronians themselves don't know anything about Primus.

I agree that the story of the Transformers is fluid between continuities. Perhaps that should have been considered before somebody wrote into canon a facet that outright states it affects all continuities, but that ain't my problem, I didn't do it. xd

True.


And to Mei, Swindle's a Decepticon. Technically he would be Military Hardware, not merchandise.
